IJGA to host Junior Golf Summer Camp

Friday

The International Junior Golf Academy has announced open enrollment for its Junior Golf Summer Camp for boys and girls ages 10-18 at the Old Carolina campus in Bluffton.

The program begins June 4 and runs for nine consecutive weeks, offering campers overnight boarding or day camp experience with personalized golf instruction.

The core program is tailored for beginner or intermediate level players interested in learning swing mechanics, developing their skills, fitness and course play.

The elite program is designed for the more advanced and competitive player, with additional technical analysis and instruction, advanced fitness performance training, mental strategy, video analysis and technology.

Each program concludes with an 18-hole handicap tournament at Pinecrest Golf Club, prizes and post-camp performance recommendations.

Campers may experience the IJGA Performance Training Center that recently underwent a $2 million transformation and features a 25,000-square-foot indoor facility with hitting bays, short game area, swing catalyst force plate studio, TrackMan, 3D Biomechanics, BodiTrak and SAM PuttLab systems.

Juniors use the expanded Pinecrest Golf Club driving range while experiencing the St. Andrews-style, “Himalayas” putting green and 18-hole, par-3 challenge course at Old Carolina.

“We spend the first two days creating technical competencies using technology to guide and help us. We then spend the next two days using those new skills and tools in a competitive environment, culminating in the last day of an 18-hole stroke play competition with handicaps and prizes.”

Space is limited. Interested parties are asked to contact Patrick O’Toole at 843-384- 1141 for reservations and to request a copy of the 20-page camp guide. For more information, go to www.ijga.com/summer-camp.
